OMG! WH.gov removes Setting the Record Straight Link!!!

[uppityperson]

I just checked the http://www.whitehouse.gov/ website and "setting the record straight" link is gone. It is not even on their site map. You can still find it here though who know how long this will last:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/setting-record-straight/

Too funny! Or is it pitiful?

Edited to add: you can get there, as of now, through the main wh-srs link, but it is no longer at the bottom of the main WH website like it was yesterday, and it is not listed on the WH-sitemap page either. If you didn't know it used to be there, or was available, you would not know. They deleted the links to it, but not the pages themselves.

1. I'm shocked they were smart enough to see that it needed to be removed.

Knowing those phuckers they'd rarely admit they are wrong.

[coffeenap]

2. removed--sorry.

[eleny]

3. Maybe it was one of Karl's old duties

[benburch]

4. Did anybody copy it? nt

[w8liftinglady]

6. I have it in my history ..how do you do a screen shot?)

[Renew Deal]

8. Hit the print screen button

and then paste the contents into Word or some other text editor.

[w8liftinglady]

12. it worked!!!give me a few minutes

[w8liftinglady]

27. thanks for showing me this-i have 18 pages off the site.

[uppityperson]

28. thank you for copying them all, and contacting people yesterday

Yes, we small people can make a difference (small people meaning we individuals)

[w8liftinglady]

5. I emailed Reid,Kennedy and Pelosi...and asked them

if the link violated the Hatch Act...which it did...what a bunch of pussies.

[Renew Deal]

7. How did it violate the hatch act?

Using government resources for politics?

[w8liftinglady]

9. federal employees are forbidden to do any kind of political activity while

on duty

the fines are steep.

[WhiteTara]

21. yeah, so why is "everyone" acting like it is perfectly

normal for a political operative to be on the taxpayer money in the WH itself? I mean no one has said, WTF? Not even Amy Goodman said anything about this new role.
:wtf:

[Renew Deal]

24. But it's rarely enforced.

You have to be pretty egregious to be charged.

[w8liftinglady]

25. lol.....yeahhhhh-but it makes a little campaign fodder!

16. Bwhahahaaa!!

You got 'em on the run, Will! :applause:

:evilgrin:

[plcdude]

17. nice job

enjoyed your article when I read it and now even more.

[w8liftinglady]

26. Excellent,Will...as always

[bear425]

29. Excellent. n/t

[WiseButAngrySara]

30. Will, what an excellent article! You scored with me. ...n/t

[tavalon]

34. Too bad about your getting put on the no-fly list though

Just kidding. I think.

[brainshrub]

11. The link seems to work just fine for me.

Am I missing something?

:shrug:

[sinkingfeeling]

14. Shows up just fine for me also.

[w8liftinglady]

15. me,too..but I'll save the screen shots just in case.

we MIGHT be able to use them later.....

[uppityperson]

20. It used to be at the bottom orf main WH webpage

seems to be missing from there now, unless I am blind.

[uppityperson]

18. The direct link works, but it is not on the main WH webiste page, or

found on WH site map page. If you didn't know it was there, you wouldn't ever look for it or find it.

[warrens]

13. Someone notify the FRetards

Their little pin heads will start popping immediately.

[LisaLynne]

19. You can also still get to it through the search function ...

on the WH front page. Are you saying they removed the LINKS to it? That would be way too funny. They took out the links, but didn't actually delete the pages ... :rofl:

[uppityperson]

22. YOu got it, if you didn't know it was there, you wouldn't find it

can find it by searching, but it is NOT on the front main WH website page like it was 2 days ago, and is NOT on the WH site map page either.

[LisaLynne]

23. I'm actually flabbergasted!!!

That is totally pathetic. And I have to admit that I, like other DUers, am simply amazed that the WH actually had the sense to know it was a bad idea. I mean, these are the same people who brought us Iraq and are gearing up for Iran!

This is beyond funny. It is pathetic.

[WiseButAngrySara]

31. For another 'beyond funny' perspective on this, be sure and read Will's

TruthOut article, if you haven't already done so. Link is in post #10 above!

[w8liftinglady]

32. this deserves a kick for Will Pitt's article

[uppityperson]

33. yes, thank you Will for your article

the first postings were Nov 2005, the most recent April 2006. I wonder if it was on the front WH page all that time or not. Anyway, they pulled the link probably because of the fuss people made through here and Will's article.

Edited to add one more thank you to Will. Thank you.
